I believe NSCP set up their business planning to charge a premium for a more advanced browser than MSFT or others could offer. Wrong!!! We knew all along that this was not going to be the case. You don't have a clue as to what we're doing to make money. MSFT has exploited the advantages, by offering integration, saving customers the hassle of installing and configuring a browser. No, customers still need to configure the browser. MSFT has not added in RUM (Read User's Mind) technology in yet. Nor have they made significant progress developing an alternative to MSFT's integration advantage. Kind of nearly impossible. But it's not really our fault. It's kind of like starting a 10K race when your competitor already began it 30 minutes ago. That's why NSCP is moving into areas in which MSFT does not already dominate. But it is clear that you don't have an inkling about this. A law requiring all browser technology to be sold for some minimum cost would put to rest this "dumping" theory of NSCP's decline. Do you think such a law would make a significant difference in the battle between NSCP and MSFT? I don't. It certainly would help.
